Oven Roasted Carrots

I was in a hurry to take a picture so that I could dive right into these yummy carrots. They are irrestible. Yes, I managed to share it with my husband! He thought these were Baked Sweet Potatoes. They kind of taste similar but I like these far better than sweet potatoes.

Oven Baked Carrots

Ingredients

Carrots – 4 big ones

Olive or Coconut Oil – 1.5 tsp

Salt – to taste

Black Pepper Powder – 1/4 tsp

Preparation Method

Peel and wash the carrots. Cut each carrot approximately into 2″ long strips of around 1/2″ thickness. If the strips are thin, they will burn quickly.

Toss the strips in oil, salt and pepper.

Arrange them in a single layer on a baking tray.

Preheat oven to 425 F. Bake the carrots for 18-20 minutes, making sure to toss the tray after 10 minutes to avoid the carrots sticking to the pan.
